BS in Business Administration - Batch of 2025

4.2

Great experience and a life changing student exchange experience.

Tips: It’s a great university with a lot of opportunities and a really great campus life. As a student from a different culture and country FDU treated me fairly well and I had no difficulty integrating with other students and teachers who helped me become more confident about myself.

Likes (Student Life): Had a great time there because of the facilities they provided and the way other students treated me. I’m a huge football fan and a player so I was always treated with respect during my playtime there and within the footballing community at the FD university.

Dislikes (Part time work): I was not permitted to work during my stay at the FDU because I had a student visa. The university would have provided me with internships if I were allowed to get employed during my time I was there for almost 3 months but due to my occurrences, it was not possible for me.
